In 1943, human psychologist, Abraham Maslow proposed a theory which related to human motivation entitled Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Much like the NLP pioneers of the 70s Maslow studied and modelled extraordinary people such as Einstein in a quest to filter the essential ingredients to create a better understanding of how to motivate humans towards excellence.
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs the “needs” are predetermined in an order of importance from a physiological to psychological scale comprising of five levels. These include
1. Basics: Breathing, water, food, sleep, maintaining internal stability and sex
2. Safety & security: personal, health, family, resources, employment and property
3. Love & Belonging: friendship, family, to be part of a team
4. Self Esteem: getting respect and recognition from others
5. Self-actualisation: self expression, problem solving, creating one’s own individual identity
According to Maslow we need to address each individual need from the bottom of the list to the top. In other words we need to master the lower needs before moving on to the higher needs. By trying to jump to the higher needs without the lower needs met first will lead to undesirable behaviour that ultimately will affect our journey towards personal growth, excellence, happiness and ultimately our survival.
Please understand that the first two needs on the list are classified as Survival Needs. Survival is a pre-requisite to inner confidence and happiness. But what is really amazing about this revelation is that most people do not incorporate safety and security into their own personal lives. In most “first world” countries, most citizens rely on others to provide them with safety and security and do not take the active steps to accept the responsibility for themselves. Personal protection is an essential ingredient for self discovery and personal growth, so it makes sense to start training now! Set yourself a personal goal and take a self defence class today, but make sure the instructor is galvanizing the following concepts in order to expedite your progress and to ensure that you will be ready for action when you need it most!
1. Be a hard target
2. React immediately
3. Intercept the attack
4. Keep it simple, but not too simple
5. Close the gap while standing, open the gap while grounded
6. If you are overwhelmed use an improvised a weapon
7. Abide by the law
8. Remember that escape is always your goal
Remember that tips are just that- tips! These tips are for normal everyday folks who are looking to protect themselves from immediate danger. Both law enforcement and security related tactical force options may include some different goals. Regadless of your role, to accomplish your goals you have got to train with a real person. I am not talking about sticking in a DVD or video or even reading some books. I am talking about the real thing. This is the only way towards YOU truly reaching your self-discovery and own personal growth. This where ultimately we can transmute the physical into the spiritual where you will be able to walk the Earth with the confidence that God intended for you to have in order for you to enjoy life to the fullest!
